**This video was made in hopes to shed light on the true origins of piracy off the coast of Somalia, which the mainstream media often hides and the United Nations refuses to investigate.

Somalia has the longest coastline in Africa, which today is almost entirely unprotected because of the ongoing conflict, which makes Somalia a major target for illegal fishers and criminal organizations who seek to dispose toxic waste including nuclear waste.

The dumping of toxic waste and the pirating of fish has lead to the poisoning deaths of many, it also has lead to the decline and contamination of sea life for the coastal communities who depend on seafood as their main livelihood. These foreign exploiters only resistance today are those who the media often refers to as "Somali Pirates".

No doubt, there are criminal opportunists among the native fishermen, who are only out to make a quick buck ... but these criminals should not cloud the true origins of piracy.

Thank you for watching... please share this.

  • thanks for this video bro. I can only hope that the pirates carry on there struggle even though its a David vs Goliath situation.

  • they were dumping toxic waste in ivory coast seas in 2011, the uk press found out but before they could print the story the next morning, the uk government served them a gaging order and banned them from exposing their crime. its also governments and not just companies that are responsible for this, they are doing it all over africa, we should be fighting a common enemy but dumb jareer are more likely to be used in proxy wars against us. the sad state of affairs today. UNITY FOR SOMALIWEYN

  • finally the truth! These pirates aren't just insane terrorists of the sea they are there to protect and sustain their natural resources

  • This video make me almost crying...born and raised in Somalia until the war I never imagine how much I would learn and feel for this country....

  • its really sad how they think there vivid that they can steal the fished iam a somalian myself and i am disgusted with their behaviour,somalians only hope is by living they've lost everythink since the civil war took place and now there making it worse by starving them,they should not be dumbing the waste in the somalian sea,it anit a dumb its their food,they've been eating fish only and it know turns that their literally starving what more could they take away now =nothing thankyousomuch

  • The Pirates protect the Somali Coast against those western ships who steal the somali fishs and they were also dumping toxic nuclear Wast!

  • Typical west. that does not care about other people in the world

  • If there is such a thing as Karma then some people in this world of all of ours are in the shit big style

  • I can't believe this video is watched by only 7 thousand plus some people. This is the reality and footage of the inherent barbarian intent of the Europeans. They will never get away with this...........believe me this Environmental terrorism.

  • The day will come when we will unite and face the demons who committed this unspeakable crime. The cowards couldnt do it when we were one nation and united as Somalis. What cruel and inhumane treatment is worse than this, specially when we are so vulnerable. Wake up Somalis and stop looking to the world to solve your problems. We gotta put to an end to this senseless civil war. The time is now ,,,enough is enough.
